Network with national and international institutions of repute. 4Annual Report 2013-14 Annual Report 2013-142 Director’s Foreword It gives me enormous pleasure to outline some important milestones of the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST), as we progress towards the seventh year of its academic journey. The year 2013-14, witnessed a new group of students who performed well in JEE Main as well as JEE Advanced Examination and took admission in IIST to pursue their interest in Space Studies. Their scholarly eagerness to join B. Tech programmes in Aerospace Engineering, Avionics and the Physical Sciences was overwhelming and academically uplifting. It has now become a matter of pride and privilege for the institute to underscore the fact that all the three under graduate programmes continue to be ranked among the top programmes in their respective categories. Furthermore, IIST has started several Post Graduate programmes that have been received by the students with a resounding response, as they have taken to the programmes with the right tempo of academic fervour and diligence. Concurrently, the Institute continues to focus on its research and its associated publication output in internationally and nationally reputed journals. The above focus, inspires and motivates each faculty member to excel in her/his quest for knowledge and expand the research frontiers in their specialized fields of inquiry. The faculty members and students also get an impetus and opportunity to work extensively on research projects on various specialized fields at IIST and also on high end technology, in collaboration with the different centres of ISRO. In line with the above mentioned research activities of the institute, various departments have also organized colloquia, seminars, workshops and conferences for the diffusion of specialized knowledge as well as to maximize scholarly peer-interactions in their respective areas. While the quantum of the work done by the faculty is relatively on a higher scale, the efforts are to push the limits of endeavor and knowledge dissemination to gain international reputation and acclaim. In 2013-14, a laudable number of projects, seminars were organized in the Institute and working papers were published by the faculty members. The year has also been remarkable for the successful completion of several projects, which focus on a plethora of variegated subjects, which indicates the quality of infrastructure as well as the aesthetic resonances of the academic climate of the institute. The labs and the infrastructure, the institute has today, are comparable with the best in the country. IIST library is continuously expanding its collection of academic material and subscriptions to consortiums of database and journals needed for research and teaching. The academic ambience of the institute are further enhanced by the sports facilities, fitness centres and the verdant outdoor landscapes which are compelling attractions to the students for their intellectual and emotional stimuli. The cafeteria and the green scenery provide the students the conducive environment to disseminate, reflect on, exchange and share knowledge among their peers. I am happy to render this fourth yearly report as the Director of IIST. I have witnessed the institute grow from an organization with potential to an institution which has become iconic and path-breaking. And whatever we have achieved, would not have been possible without the unstinting support of the faculty members and students, the administrative acumen of the staff and the indulgence of the Board of Management.

  • Civil and Infrastructure Engineering
    Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur AGENDA ITEM 22.2.3 of 22nd Meeting of Senate on 31 July 2020 (Friday) 03:00 pm at Board Room, IIT Jodhpur Annexure AP22-3 Concept Note Curriculum of UG program 2020 Department of Civil and Infrastructure Engineering IIT Jodhpur CI#1 1. Introduction The rapidly urbanizing society and increasing quality of life demand reliable and intelligent infrastructure systems which are capable of catering to the societal needs at different scales – from an individual to the community level. Consequently, the civil and infrastructure industry has undergone profound changes and is constantly evolving. However, the new-age designs and innovations in the civil and infrastructure industry can only be driven by a group of engineering graduates having multidisciplinary training and a sound understanding of emerging technologies. Through this undergraduate program in “Civil & Infrastructure Engineering”, IIT Jodhpur is making a stride to re-imagine the course structure that incorporates and integrates the elements of conventional civil engineering with advanced transformative technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), cyber- physical-systems (CPS), digital twins (DT), and automated management and information systems. Additionally, a major thrust is also planned on the design, implementation, and maintenance of large-scale integrated infrastructure systems across different domains. 2. Objective of the program ● To provide an expanded but holistic understanding of different civil and infrastructure systems and an in-depth understanding of the differences, similarities, and relations between different scales and components of it. ● To produce graduates with an ability to integrate conventional methods with emerging technologies to design intelligent civil and infrastructure systems from a multidisciplinary perspective.

    163 BIODIVERSITY STATUS OF FISHES INHABITING RIVERS OF KERALA (S. INDIA) WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO ENDEMISM, THREATS AND CONSERVATION MEASURES Kurup B.M. Radhakrishnan K.V. Manojkumar T.G. School of Industrial Fisheries, Cochin University of Science & Technology, Cochin 682 016, India E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The identification of 175 freshwater fish- es from 41 west flowing and 3 east flowing river systems of Kerala were confirmed. These can be grouped under 106 ornamental and 67 food fish- es. The biodiversity status of these fishes was assessed according to IUCN criteria. The results showed that populations of the majority of fish species showed drastic reduction over the past five decades. Thirty-three fish species were found to be endemic to the rivers of Kerala. The distributions of the species were found to vary within and between the river systems and some of the species exhibited a high degree of habitat specificity. The diversity and abundance of the species generally showed an inverse relationship with altitude. The serious threats faced by the freshwater fishes of Kerala are mostly in the form of human interventions and habitat alter- ations and conservation plans for the protection and preservation of the unique and rare fish bio- diversity of Kerala are also highlighted. 164 Biodiversity status of fishes inhabiting rivers of Kerala (S.India) INTRODUCTION river.
